I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

This is such condescending BS.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

GREAT NEWS.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

My read on what happened at The Daily Beast. It falsely included in its initial report a claim that the allegation is "unfounded"—though in fact the corroboration of it is significant. It then published the report, deliberately before the White House could respond. After the White House responded...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

The one really positive thing about Trump’s firing the CJCS and Musk and DOGE attacking the Pentagon is that it’s awesome for Canada and Greenland/Denmark

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

My advanced copy of King Tyrant has arrived and, wow, @princetonupress.bsky.social did an amazing job turning my ramblings and scribblings into a great looking book! Very excited for you all to see it yourselves in May. #tyrannosaurus #paleontology #paleoart #dinosaurs #fossils

Musk is indiscriminately firing NPS Rangers -- people who have dedicated their lives to protecting our precious national parks and those who visit them This now unemployed ranger asks that we write. Congress via npca.org/jobcuts

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Happy #FossilFriday, take a look at the skull of Teratophoneus! This tyrannosaur made southern Utah its stomping grounds roughly 76 million years ago, and it may have used those massive teeth to prey upon hadrosaurs such as Gryposaurus and Parasaurolophus. (1/2) #paleontology

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

He nails it.

When you fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-who’s Black Replacing him with an unqualified white man Then ax the Chief of Naval Operations-who’s a woman-saying she’s a DEI hire After you fired a female Coast Guard Commandant Your racism and misogyny seem pretty clear apnews.com/article/trum...

Extortion, pure and simple.

This is how it’s done.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Toni reminds us that we each hold the power to heal by doing THE work. This weekend we're committed to: - taking our dogs for a walk - checking on 2+ fed friends - making a batch of veggie soup - calling our senators re the budget (& Medicaid's risk) What about you? Share your intentions. Goodnight.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Confirmation needed but this was one way many folks pointed out that RFK Jr can destroy vaccines without simply taking them away. ACIP reviews data and makes recommendations about vaccine usage in the US.
